steve, thank you. i m sorry i must have missed your previous post as I don't visit here often. 5. walmart: u make me want to go shopping. i have been so BZ with what to do w. my portfoilo and BZ on internet, i did not do much shopping. when shopping comes on internet i will shop. #9. PRODUCTIVITY INCREASES KEEP ALLOWING LOWER AND LOWER PRICES. i agree but it is such a genreal statement. higher wages of latley can not effectly be compared with past prodcutivity. i.e. Last year's earning should be compared with two years ago salary. current higher wages, will have effect in next year's earning and given the slow down will exagerate erning effects. i am giving up on all thes numbers cpi/ppi and whaterver the hell is this inverted curve? I think our gut feeling should tell us a lot. since WE are the consumers. I have found i m so typical of many boomers so if i just ask myself how i feel then i could be right. But someitmes, i get confused with lots of data that surrounds me and this information overflow could bad for ons health. <G> happy new year ! i will bookmark u so u won't have to repeat your views.

Steve >Milton Freidman just released research that if we have deflation it will not hurt but help. Don't think anyone on SI could debate him on it.< I'd certainly take issue with that. Most on SI probably own tangible property including real estate that's of greater worth than their equity holdings. Disinflation of any significance would be disasterous, as anyone who mailed their home keys to their bank's mortage dept will concur. Fortunately, many of us have realized substantial net worth gains as inflation has paid off our long standing mortgages in full. It really depends on which side of an asset relationship you're on, to benefit or lose. What Greenspan is emphasizing is having not only accurate measures of inflation that keep up with changing times, but also using those measures to maintain stable and predictable markets in all asset classes.
